secondly, i think john mccain is confusing straight talk with circular logic. the reason that the assault weapons ban won't bapass in the senate is because he's trying to obstruct it. it also dishonors the memory of his slain constituents because jared loughner passed a background check. he was able to unload 33 bullets in a matter of 15 seconds in a semiautomatic pistol with a high capacity magazine. the 13th bullet went into the body and killed a 9-year-old girl. it's exactly the reason why a background check alone will not solve this problem, and it's unbelievable to me that john mccain, who has been such a statesman and somebody who was so well-regarded on both sides of the aisle, has now become an industry front man on an issue that has gotten so out of control that it is causing carnage among his own constituents and this is the kind of answer that we get from him. >> it's extraordinary. patricia, you don't need me to remind you that six people were killed in that tucson parking lot back in january 2011, including, as julian just said, 9-year-old christin
